Clues are up
thanks Lickety! Morning babblers
missing lot of 7's, but off to bed. kids start arriving at 9 tomorrow morning, so doubt I'll be back for a few days.
in the land of Mordor...
cooee darling sprite. i hope you didn't overdo it yesterday. is it today you have to yourself?
hi sweetie, yes I did, because that horrible man of mine put himself out of order. How did it go today?
all good. surgeon likes what dietician has put me on. he said when he did the colonoscopy he was so very preoccupied by that big polyp that he didn't look for anything else except polyps... he will pay more attention to any other anomalies in January.
hm okay. Sounds pretty relaxed.
he's going to look at the CT scan later, and will ring me if anything needs to be done or changed.
very good. How are you feeling?
better in myself. went to gym and did full program without too many issues.
good girl!
i'm guessing you have had a rough night. can you rest a little more today?
didn't sleep. No, we have to keep pushing now, it is only four more days till moving.
Rob is overseeing the laying of the floor today. WIll be home this afternoon, probably tired. I will do what I can this morning, then rest a little in the afternoon.
ugh you poor darling.
I will be okay. I have practice at keeping going when overtaxed and hurting. I know there will be a price to pay later, but then we will be in our new home and there is no hurry
on the plus side: this does wonders for the translation, lol.
the kitchen is always the most difficult room to pack up I have found. so many bits and pieces.
yes. Almost done with that. Only pans and pots to go, and the last minute things of course.
when i am in hospital next week, Don is going to fix up all the plumbing for the new laundry area. i anticipate coming home to a functioning cold water tap.
wow, wouldn't that be something
i'll say. unless you have been through it, one wouldn't understand what is like to have no cold water in a laundry. very frustrating.
yeah, not comfy
oh, and he is talking about buying the new top loader machine already. i would rather wait until the laundry area is fully ready and functioning. i don't know. guess i'll make that decision when i have to do so.
if it puts a bit of red pepper in his youknowwhatsit, all to the good
* GIGGLE *
i wonder if he can keep his hands off it and let me be the first one to use the new machine. thus far the only new appliance which has come into the house and he hasn't used first is.... the iron....lol
keep dreaming, sweetie. Boys and their toys...
ugh, with 8 words left I finally got the 9. Should have seen that one sooner.
at least you found it honey. well done!!
thanks, lol.
fireflies. Freakin' greeting the last word. Not sure why I always miss it. Just like ciao. Guesss I am just not that polite, lol, not into greetings
WTG SPRITE !!!
well I guess that means I had better get a move on. Lots of things still to pack and I want to label all the downstairs boxes. Because the kids do the whole moving, I label each box so they know where to put it. Did the 50+ upstairs yesterday.
i'm ashamed to say my last word was tr4.
*giggles* nothing like babble to keep us humble
wow! you are amazing.
love you honey. See you tomorrow, hopefully. Hugssssss
* hugs *
Good morning Babblers! A sunny clear day here in Eastern Canada
em
howdy. rain here in south carolina.
robert redford died
that's too bad
I think he was 89
he was good friends with my tennis teacher
'morning, hokie, ru
wow. I had no idea you played tennis. ;)
I took lessons right after him at the club I used to be at
welki!
I played a lot of tennis in my 30's-50's tons
that's how I wrecked my knees
wish I could still play.. i loved it
how did the paddle ball thing go hokie are you the local champ?
pickleball, and no. we lost all but one in the prelim round robiin.
we're playing in an iron man tournament on the 27th
the guy I was paired with is like me, athletic & good at a bunch of sports but not great at any one. we both made a lot of unforced errors.
oh, what's that, welki?
that's too bad.. I had high hopes for you hokie
thanks, ruru.
they also call it 'greenskeepers' revenge' - it's a two man scramble set up with weird pin placements and tee boxes in odd places. supposed to be 'challenging,' but for crappy players like me, it's just like a regular game *lol*
players like my husband, and the couple we're playing with, will have a harder time than i will - prizes and dinner afterwards
sounds more like whack-a-mole to me
yep, there'll be some club smashing, i imagine :D
well this was a tough grid for me today.. very challenging
morning all. i am half way but missing lots of stats and tiles.
got the 9! nice one.
bye for now all have fun with the grid
bye, ru
any clues for 7s welcome! thanks.

it'll be a long day, but yeah, fun - packin' birdie juice (for me, it's 'almost birdie juice')
Thank you champ
The e's are killing me. I have a few: ei 4/5, 5/23 em 5/14, 7/36, ep 6/24
killing me too!
also finding this grid difficult
can't even get the first tile
ty i need the ep and the ei words. any clues welcome. and yes, Carla, it isnot an easy one.
Ei is kind of like what you call people older than you
Replace the i
ep starts like the injection for an allergy
ty. got it but not from the E i have blank! ugh.
well I am on the right track then
Epidea
Sorry
not a word anyway
em 6/24 and 7/36
em4/6 Always forget that one!
because who would ever spell it that way
i need more help fro the ep word please.ep got the start, but then what? it is a six right?
ending is the start of the mythical female sea creature
Yes. The last three are the beginning of the half woman, half fish
got it. super clues! yeah!
only one more blank: the E word for the E in fourth column. not sure what it is. perhaps em?not sure
it's the em4
4/6

no blanks and i am rolling. ty. now to get half way. i thought i was half way but i am not. ty all cluers.
you all are adorbs
You know I tried it!
lol, I knew there was not a chance so I didn't
Desperate times....
let's go back to this em6 and 7. not a lot of options point wise but I can't make it work. are these normal words?
No
Not to me. Monkeyed them. I can tell you that the 6/7/7 all start with the same 4 letters
of course they aren't
OH ick! Divine punishment for taking the ARK...severe pain in the groin...
they might remind you of your mother's perfume (without the french spelling)
hmm, only french one I can think of...I can bring home the bacon
fry it up in a pan
They are archaic spellings of what you use Preperation H for
well got one with that, thx.
And not my mother's perfume because that was strictly Chanel Number 5
Take out the last vowel carla
my mom had like avon perfumes and in later years (like the 90s) I think she liked oscar de la renta
thanks, champ and molly. got all 3 now.
Yay!
NTPN - the place one does not simply walk into
My sister wore a lot of Hawaiian White Ginger by Avon
I don't even rem. that
I liked benetton colors back when I was a teenager
Mordor
ding ding ding!
now we just wait for hurshy to ask ;)
if you missed a target, wouldn't you reaim?
No, I would just turn around and go back to the Target store I missed. : D
or if you had to apply a bandage, would you reaide?
apologies if the Y stat has been given already, but can someone tell me?
haha luckily i have just seen that you did that one so now i can avoid being redundant
I did try reaid too
:D
yw! ye 6/27
darnit, thanks.
could someone please give me a clue for the ae9
oh, didn't know it existed, thanks
I have one near me, and it's an ice rink.
ae9 is like an airfield
is the corner E hard? is it epi- something?
yes and yes
but we've had it before
well not epinaoi
I didn't remember it but Ms. Photo Memory probably will
not epiderm although that is a phantom
ep 6/24
she should because once I saw it I remembered it and she's way better at that
i'm sure i'll remember it WHEN i see it
finally got the 9, thx
but meanwhile
If you want to blow your mind, look up the definition for that ep6
phew, got it at last
was just going to but had looked up the d5 I found earlier and was just reading that. a golf term I've never heard so has to be scottish.
well i figure it was something chem related like poly-(same ending)
...is a specific type of stereoisomer that differs from another molecule in the configuration of only one chiral center, meaning the arrangement of atoms around that single carbon is inverted. For example, D-glucose and D-galactose are epimers, differing only at the C-4 position. Epimers are a subtype of diastereomers, which are stereoisomers that are not mirror images
I will have to ask my chem eng son if he knows the ep6
Oh sorry, forgot to get rid of the word in the bulk of the definition
don't worry, no one is reading that whole thing
It really does mess with your head if you do
i'm not doing all that well with the other Es either. got 3/6 from the left
I scanned it twice and it still took a 3rd time for me to see the word in there
yeah, this is a tough grid, hurshy. struggling here to get half on each. currently stuck on 4th row R.
okay, my son said he has heard of ep6. see? regular word. :D
It is too many complete words for a society that communicates in "u r def adorbs yo" kind of words
;)
lots of phantoms tho
yep
well, going to have to move on from that R with just 3 found
ooh i found an an7
